ESCANABA — Bay College students often identify financial support as the largest barrier to attending college and completing a degree. Throughout the years, the community has generously supported many fundraisers hosted by the Bay College Foundation to help break down barriers that students may face when attending college.

This year, in the midst of a pandemic, the look and feel of fundraising has changed. Bay College is committed to creating opportunities to help students bridge financial gaps – funding a final class, covering emergency needs, eliminating food and housing insecurities, removing employment barriers and supporting student success.

The Bay College Foundation is asking the community to support the Educate All Extravaganza, a virtual fundraiser the first of its kind in this area. It’s fun and easy. Go to www.pixgift.com/baycollege and for $20 select a square (or multiple squares) on the giving board and upload a selfie or one of our pre-loaded images to build a memorable Educate All mosaic.

For added fun, there are hidden treasures behind some of the squares, and if your square matches a treasure, you will be notified at the end of November.

If you have questions, please contact the Bay College Foundation at 906-217-1700 or email foundation@baycollege.edu.
